I've been using the Today section in @things as a handy rolling list of things I want to tackle in the days and weeks ahead. I simply drag the TODO items that need my attention today to the top.
I'm considering switching to Reminders.app at this point since Things.app might provide more functionality than I really need.
#otd 17 years ago, I started implementing #GettingThingsDone. It works great in a job contest, but at home I want to do the action behind every email I sent myself during processing, regardless if it takes less than two minutes or not, because I will never look at the to-do list anyway, that I'm supposed to put it to.

How I work productively: including Getting Things Done, work environment, reliable backup, and working in sprints rather than marathons

I use the co-working platform https://focusmate.com to do the boring admin and finance jobs I hate for the community project I run. Idea is you briefly chat with your focusmate, say what you want to work on, then catch up for a minute or two at the end of the session to report on progress. Can be computer work, tidying, meditation, exercise, cooking, music practice or anything. One of the great joys is the amazing diversity of people you meet and often some fascinating conversations. This week I have worked with an inspiring junior barrister from Manchester, various PhD students from US, Europe and India, a pianist in Seoul and a charity manager in Cambridge. Realise co-working online isn't everyone's cup of tea but I love it!

In this ep of IMAGINATION & JUNK - the transatlantic conversation about the hard work of creativity - we talk about GETTING THINGS DONE, and the cult of productivity. And we have opinions.
Been using the #SuperProductivity app the last few months and it is rather nice. I really wanted to like the #gnome #errands, but the lack of repeatable #tasks was kind of a deal breaker. Crazy that it seems to be a feature that is missing in alot of little apps I tried.

@GettingThingsGNOME @nekohayo I wanted to ask you about the status of #GTG 0.7 with the new core and #GTK4. Is the release still far away or rather close? The last comment on the related issue [1] was almost a year ago and it did not seem not to be too far away then. Thanks!

Ich habe in meinem privaten @dokuwiki (geht aber auch mit einer Notizapp oder einem Office-Dokument) eine Liste nach Archiven/Institutionen, in denen ich die Dinge notiere, die ich dort machen will (inklusive Link aufs #WikiTree-Profil). Ansonsten stoße ich entweder sofort den nächsten Schritt an (und sei es nur eine Mail an mich, Stichwort #GettingThingsDone) oder schreibe ich das ins Profil und kümmere mich beim nächsten Mal darum, wenn ich es wieder sehe. #Ahnenforschung
Attacking the piles of paper - things to be done, laundry, cleaning up room … #GettingThingsDone

@kushal I use the #GettingThingsDone #GTD methodology. In fact, this year will mark the 20th anniversary of me being on GTD, and I'll never use any other system again.
Today's game plan was to do some of those pesky house chores that I've been putting off. Well, I managed to do 2 of them, so I guess that is a win. Now I'm working on my restock for this weekend and video editing. Got the og Guild Wars soundtrack playing off the Rune Audio I did years ago and sipping my coffee.

Interesting Wired piece by @clivethompson on getting things done and why we don't always. I used to keep a to-do list and I stopped. I used to use Workflowy and Remember the Milk for lists (both okay). But now, my email inbox is my to-do list for essential things. I'll write a tiny, brief to-do list on paper if there's a couple things I need to remember or do that day, but that's it. I don't keep a running one anymore. I don't find it useful.
